Today i had a very interesting experience. I was on a dock over the ocean
and there was lot of pigeons , crows flying around and many other animals.
i was looking at those pigeons and was wondering how i could bring one home
to eat., when i saw a pigeon thrown in the water by a crow atempting to kill
it . when the pigeon came to the shore the crow picked it up with his beak
and stand on it eating it alive.
My compassionate side made me jump and with my son we went to kill the
pigeon.
My uncompassionate side decided to steal it despite the loud protests of the
crow.After i killed it  my son ( over  3 years old) was all excited and said
< c'est chouette de tuer> ( it is great to kill). while i was attempting to
kill with the stone and didn,t succeed the 1st time he said < faut faire ca
bien > ( we have to do it nicely).

who was the most to blame from a vegetarian point of view for cruauty.?

myself ,the crow my son or the pigeon (for not dying right away and for
stealing the life of many potential barley plants-- i found its gizzard full
of barley seeds ). ?

This the riddle of the day!
Ps the pigeon had the head without feathers and red of blood and the back
without skin and some meat missing when i intervened and was alive. And just
before that event we saw an other crow eating what i thought was a fish at
1rst but realise now that it was an other pigeon.
